ergebend vs folgend

following

'folgend' and 'ergebend' can both have to do with something that comes after something else. The difference is important: 'folgend' describes an order or sequence, for example the next point, day, or section. 'ergebend' is usually used in the phrase 'sich ergebend aus' (resulting from) and means a consequence or result. The words can be confused because both refer to something that comes afterward. If it is only about the next position in a list, 'folgend' fits. If something arises from a reason or situation, 'sich ergebend aus' fits.
